Illness Calls

Illness Calls

So, my car still isn’t back from the garage but the signals are good. I suppose I’ll just have to wait and see.

To be honest, it is a bit of a pain in the behind not having a motor, but I’ve been ill this week so it hasn’t bothered me as much as it could have done. I’ve been driving my wife’s Peugeot 208 which is surprisingly roomy for a tiny car. I do feel a bit like Hightower in Police Academy whenever I use it though. And there’s a reference that I doubt young people will get.

Website Rejiggery Pokery

I took it as an opportunity to rejig my website, which has been on my to-do list for ages now. I’m still not completely happy with it – is anyone? – but structure-wise it’s better, and I created some new pages that I’ve been meaning to do.

I must have caught this horrible cold (it’s not the ‘spicy cough’, I’m pretty sure of that) in Manchester at the weekend at Neighbourhood Festival. I spent the day in Canvas waiting to see Lovejoy with hundreds of other people breathing all over each other. I’ve been in busy situations since Covid but not like this, so after two and a half years of taking it easy and not-necessarily-consciously self-distancing, it was inevitable that I’d catch some sort of super cold. If I’m being honest, it feels like the flu, but what can you do about it? I wasn’t quite ready for the hospital, and I do feel like I’m getting better. You just have to ride it out. I’m a warrior, aren’t I?

The Ups and Downs of Self-Employment

So, there we have it. A very (welcome) quiet week at MaadWeb HQ. This is another crazy thing that I’m finding out about being self-employed – one week you can be rushed off your feet, the next is quiet as a mouse. It’s so odd. I could do with a bit of consistency. I hope it picks up next week.

This week’s boxset: Remember, Whitechapel? It’s being repeated on Drama. I love a good murder programme. This isn’t one.
